The easy fudge recipe is made with marshmallow cream and separated into three layers. Food dye is used to create colors that represent candy corn.
And of course, we sprinkle some candy corn right on top.
I took the fudge to the kids former school and they loved it. It’s a fun recipe that is so bright, colorful, and tasty!

Step-By-Step Instructions
Heat butter in a saucepan and melt it on medium-high heat.
Make sure you have a large enough saucepan to contain all of the ingredients and allow for expansion. When the mixture boils it will boil up a little.
Once the butter is almost melted, or melted all the way, pour the evaporated milk into the pan.
Next, add the sugar to the pan and mix well.
Go ahead and place your candy thermometer into the pan.
Make sure the bottom of the thermometer doesn’t touch the bottom of the pan, or you will get an incorrect reading.
Bring the mixture to a full rolling boil and boil until the thermometer reaches 234-degrees Fahrenheit.
A full rolling boil is when you can stir and the mixture continues to boil. You can time the fudge for four minutes once it reaches a full rolling boil if you don’t have a thermometer.
Once the mixture reaches 234-degrees remove it from the burner and place it on a heat-safe counter or stovetop.
Add the marshmallow cream and mix until it melts.
I like to add the marshmallow cream before the white chocolate chips because it will melt better when it’s super hot.
Once the marshmallow cream melts, add the white chips and mix until melted.
You’ll get some biceps from making the fudge because you will have to stir for a little bit before the chocolate melts.
It’s a little workout before you eat the fudge, right?
Pour the fudge into three bowls that are heat-safe. Make sure you pour three even amounts.
Add some yellow food coloring to one of the bowls and mix until you get the desired yellow color that you’d like.
TIP: You will need to work fairly fast because the fudge will still be hot, but it will begin to cool and set up a little. And, the fudge is hot, so be careful!
I did my best to pour them evenly, so if it’s a little off, that’s ok. It’s fudge. We will eat it no matter what.
Take a different spoon and mix in some yellow and red food coloring in one of the other fudge bowls and mix until you get an orange mixture.
I had to add a little yellow and then some red and add a touch more yellow, etc. until I had the orange color I wanted. Start out with a small amount and go up from there.
If you can find some orange food coloring, you can use that instead of mixing the yellow and red.
A few small drops will go a long way.
Spread one-third of the fudge into the bottom of the prepared pan. You will start off with the white color at the bottom and spread to the edges.
I added some parchment paper to the bottom of the dish so I could lift the fudge out easily.
I will spray a little bit of cooking spray in the bottom of the pan to help the parchment paper stay in place.
Next, spread the orange fudge on top.
Finally, spread the yellow fudge mixture on the very top.
Sprinkle some actual candy corn right on top and allow the fudge to set up for at least a couple of hours at room temperature.
If you’re in a hurry, you can place the fudge in the refrigerator and it will set up in about an hour.
Once the fudge sets up you can lift it out with the parchment paper and slice it with a sharp knife.
I cut the recipe into about 25 pieces, but you can cut it into even more small pieces and get double the amount for a party.
